11 Huge Movies That Logan Destroyed At The Box Office

3. Most Of The X-Men Franchise

X-Men Apocalypse
20th Century Fox

Box Office: X-Men: First Class ($296.3 million), X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($373.1 million), X2: X-Men United ($407.7 million), The Wolverine ($414.8 million), X-Men: The Last Stand ($459.4 million), and X-Men: Apocalypse ($543.9 million).

Impressively, Logan managed to outgross all but two movies from the X-Men franchise, the holdouts being X-Men: Days of Future Past ($747.9 million) and the meteorically successful Deadpool ($783.1 million).

Considering the immense budgets, larger scopes and typically more inviting PG-13 ratings of these films, it's staggering that Logan managed to defeat all of the core X-Men movies except for one.

That's really a testament to how exhausted fans are with the mainline X-Men series right now (Apocalypse was a considerable box office let-down), and how hungry audiences are for grown-up comic book movies.
